1. Introduction PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent (PANSA) monitors one or two network-attached Tripp Lite UPS systems for specific power events, takes the appropriate action to gracefully shutdown operating systems or execute scripts, and protects systems from data loss or corruption. Example actions include shutting down the computer receiving UPS backup power when the UPS enters a low battery condition or, in a VMware application, signaling an ESXi Host to shut down. If the ESXi Host is a member of a high availability cluster, the desired response to the On Battery event could be to shut down the virtual machines running on the host before shutting down the host itself. This User's Guide will cover the basic scenarios. Feature Comments Unattended computer operating system shutdown Must monitor WEBCARDLX, SNMPWEBCARD or PowerAlert Local for shutdown signal Autodiscovery of SNMP-enabled devices Discovers devices accessible on the network via WEBCARDLX, SNMPWEBCARD and PowerAlert Local (software version 12.04.0040 and above) Figure 1.1: PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent Key Features This document is divided into three sections, each covering implementation with a different operating system / environment.

1. Introduction
PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent (PANSA) monitors one or two network-attached Tripp Lite UPS systems for specific power events, takes
the appropriate action to gracefully shutdown operating systems or execute scripts, and protects systems from data loss or corruption.
Example actions include shutting down the computer receiving UPS backup power when the UPS enters a low battery condition or, in a
VMware application, signaling an ESXi Host to shut down. If the ESXi Host is a member of a high availability cluster, the desired response to
the On Battery event could be to shut down the virtual machines running on the host before shutting down the host itself. This User’s Guide
will cover the basic scenarios.
Feature
Comments
Unattended computer operating system shutdown

PowerAlert Local for shutdown signal
Autodiscovery of SNMP-enabled devices
Discovers devices accessible on the network via
WEBCARDLX, SNMPWEBCARD and PowerAlert Local
(software version 12.04.0040 and above)
